Description

Derives cryptographic keys with the HKDF method defined around HMAC. It helps Python software turn shared secrets or key material into separate keys for encryption, authentication, or protocol-specific use.

This is security-sensitive library code. Developers should use it only when the surrounding protocol is understood, because weak inputs or incorrect key handling can compromise protected data.
